The aim of the scholarship program

The Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship programme was launched in 2013 by the Hungarian Government. The core mission of the programme is to increase the number of foreign students in Hungary and to encourage Hungarian higher education institutions to attract top foreign students; currently almost 50 sending partners are engaged in the programme.

Thousands of students from all around the world apply for higher educational studies in Hungary each year. In the academic year 2017/2018 approximately 3600 students can begin their studies in Hungary in the framework of the Stipendium Hungaricum Programme. 355 Stipendium grantholders started their studies at Corvinus University of Budapest in September 2017.
